COVID-19 Update

There are 32 new COVID-19 cases. There have been 4,423 new tests performed. There have been 3 additional deaths of a 45 year old male, 75 year old female, and an 87 year old female. Our thoughts and sincere condolences to the family and friends of those that have passed away.

The current R-effective (average number of people each infected person will pass the virus onto and represents the rate at which COVID-19 is spreading) is .91 which means that spread of COVID-19 is likely decreasing; R-effective for CA is .86 right now.

COVID-19 vaccines are now available by walk-in! No appointment is required. There are locations offered throughout the County. Vaccine eligibility is now open to everyone 16 and older. You can also make an appointment at myturn.ca.gov or 833-422-4255. The full schedule of county clinics and mobile events can be found at: https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/vaccine-information-sp/

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced new mask guidance for fully vaccinated individuals. The California Department of Public Health has not yet provided guidance based on the CDC information. The County of Ventura is aligned with the State. Once the State provides updated information on masks the information will be posted at www.venturacountyrecovers.org and shared in the e-news. The current State guidance on masks can be found at: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx.

Ventura County is currently in the Orange Tier. Learn more about the State of California’s Blueprint for Safety Economy here.
